Paradise

I wake in the morning and head straight for the beach. I need a few days of recuperation after the North and the journey. I'm so glad when as I'm sat on the chair covin the young boy who i built sandcastles with months ago recognises me and wants to play football. I entertain him for a good hour and then comes and sits next to me. On the pole next to me are stickers of various animals and he learns the English for a crocodile monkey lion and pumpkin. Kids are so receptive and learn so easily. It's mad how things have changed in even a couple of months as the little road where I stay the houses have been knocked down and I also found out today that motorbikes and bicycles have been banned from the island.Its a really great thing as the sandy streets here are so narrow, although I must admit I have seen a few people breaking the rules but that's no new thing in Thailand. I have a wonderful meal in Anna's and enjoy a few drinks along my usual trail. A couple of drinks in the Irish bar where i befriend a parrot I stay on at one of the first beach bars called slinkys and am a little boozier than usual and don't see a dog on the beach which I then stand on and ger bitten by. Totally my fault. Thank God I got all my jabs done. As I work my way down the beach every single toilet is blocked. There are signs everywhere saying don't flush toilet paper down the toilet there's a reason for it it's because it blocks all the f@@king toilet systems up. Its funny because in Pai I loved the toilets in one of the bars just sheerly for how blatantly they had it on the walls. Whilst sat at the back of the bar watching everything i see 3 young guys come over to 2 girls like a tag team, one lay over the table and they said something which made the 2 girls leave then were high fiving each other and laughing . Then hit on 2 really drunk girls on the beach ..... boys if you think this is what women want that why you're having to try so hard. I know its time to head home and grab a slice of pizza off the guy on the corner who's still open at 02.30 bargain.Läs mer
